Re: Progress?

I reckon then the FRM is about a metric tonne heavier than the RML, so still not too bad compared with anything else. Presumably there's more steelwork at the back end to dangle the engine and gearbox from

My bus number (if any): RML2532

Re: Progress?

RML 29'10" long Wheel base 19'2" Front overhang 2'10" Rear overhang 7'10"

FRM 31'3" long Wheelbase 16'10" Front overhang 7'1" Rear overhang 7'4"

all measurements + various fractions of an inch. RM is same wheelbase as FRM.
